“In my opinion, this refurbished Victorian hotel leverages its location overlooking Scarborough's North Bay to offer incredible sea views from well-appointed rooms; dog-friendly policies further endear it to families. A generous breakfast and helpful staff complement an engaging atmosphere that makes this property stand out; however, the smaller rooms may not suit all travelers. Overall, it's a great coastal retreat.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Clarence Gardens Hotel is widely appreciated for its recent renovations, featuring light colors and a modern design throughout. Many guests enjoyed rooms with great views of Scarborough Bay and Scarborough Castle. The bar area provides a good space for relaxation, with games like draughts and chess; some guests, however, have found the standard rooms quite small.

Small Room and Internet Issues

small room internet issue

The staff was friendly. The location was good.

The room I booked was small. It reminded me of a single room. I also had issues with the internet. It didn't work . The receptionist mentioned it was a known problem, but no compensation was offered. That was frustrating.

The hotel is renovated very recently! The decor features light colors and modern design. All members of the staff are very cute and professional. I found this to be true from the reception to the cleaners. I was lucky enough to have a sea view.
